Posted by Nilet on Thu Aug 28 00:36:31 2014, in response to Re: An Article Worth Reading: Why They Hate Israel, posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Wed Aug 27 23:53:19 2014. Gaza does not have a functioning airport. If you consider a runway strip with no functioning terminal and no passenger services to be an airport, that's fine. But that's not an airport in the minds of most people.It's enough to allow physical departure by air— or it would be, if Israel wasn't blockading Gaza. There was a proper airport too, but Israel destroyed it. Converts fall in under having the same national identity... Bullshit. Your basis for claiming Israel as a homeland is based on ancestry, and you can't "convert" ancestry. Jews come from such diverse backgrounds you can't fit them in to a single ethnic group, and they most definitely aren't a race. Why shouldn't there be a country for all of them? Name the country for atheists, the country for railfans, and the country for fans of Bungie's FPS series Marathon. There is no double-standard, you're just pissed that Israel doesn't have open borders and object to religious beliefs as being part of the criteria for emigration purposes. Or, in other words: There is no double-standard, you're just pissed that Israel has a double standard. Excluding people who don't belong to the "correct" religion is the definition of a double standard. Egypt is blockading Gaza. Get over it. Having run out of arguments, you've got nothing left except to simply reassert your well-debunked claim. If a ship departed Gaza bound for Greece, would the Egyptian navy stop it? I have never claimed that Gaza needs to be forced in to poverty. You've repeatedly claimed it was justified. Hamas needs to be eliminated for the sake not only of the Israelis but also the Gazans who you care about so much. Thank you for pointing that out, Captain Obvious. And you're clearly a victim of Hamas propaganda, your posts are evidence of that. Paranoid conspiracy theory again. Ask me to speak out about human rights abuses around the world in other countries and I'd be happy to do so. There are people who have it far worse than the Palestinians, whether in the West Bank or Gaza, but the world is extremely concerned about the situation in Israel while the camps in North Korea, the massacres in Syria, and the rights of women in Saudi Arabia (among other places) go largely unnoticed by the rest of the world. Ask me to speak out about human rights abuses around the world in other countries and I'd be happy to do so. But you didn't— you claimed the fact that I didn't speak out about them unsolicited in a conversation about a completely different topic necessarily proves I support them. That isn't to say that Israel is perfect, it isn't. Indeed. But the world (and you, by extension) spends way too much time going after a small problem when there are much larger ones out there. Exactly how much time do you think I spend going after Israel? Your comparison about the Holocaust is utter bullshit and you know it. If you could blah blah blah blah blah My "comparison about the Holocaust" was a simple reductio ad absurdum which successfully debunked one of the arguments you use repeatedly. I apologise if reading the word "holocaust" causes your brain to shut down. You can neither prove nor deny that Aaron (or anyone else in the Bible) was a mythical figure who never actually existed. ...And here comes the religious bullshit. Let me guess, you also believe rivers turn into blood and frogs have discovered an amazing new method of reproduction? At this point, your credibility is now zero. OTOH, I can prove that I and a whole lot of other people (including some who post on this board) share a common ancestors, so while that person may have not been Aaron as described in the Bible, it gives a whole lot of credence to that theory. Yeah, um, all life on Earth shares a common ancestor. The only theory you've given credence to is evolution, and that one's pretty much settled right now. You exhibit your lack of competence and qualifications on the issues at hand frequently, but that doesn't stop you from posting. But keep at it, maybe someday you can correct the errors of your ways. |
